Receptome profiling identifies KREMEN1 and ASGR1 as alternative functional receptors of SARS-CoV-2

Yunqing Gu et al.

Summary: The study identified ASGR1 and KREMEN1 as alternative functional receptors for SARS-CoV-2, in addition to ACE2, which together play essential roles in virus entry. The combination of these receptors affects virus susceptibility across different cell types and displays a stronger correlation with virus susceptibility when expressed together. In human lung organoids, a cocktail of antibodies targeting these three receptors provides the most significant blockage of SARS-CoV-2 infection when compared to individual antibodies.

Emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants can potentially break set epidemiological barriers in COVID-19

Ashutosh Kumar et al.

Summary: The emergence of new variants of the coronavirus has overcome existing epidemiological barriers, leading to more severe disease in younger and healthier individuals. Key mutations in these variants can enhance virus-host interactions, increasing viral entry and replication efficiency. Additionally, the reduced neutralization of these variants by natural and vaccine-induced antibodies may pose risks of reinfection and vaccine breakthroughs in the ongoing pandemic.

On the Selectivity of Heparan Sulfate Recognition by SARS-CoV-2 Spike Glycoprotein

John E. Chittum et al.

Summary: This study identified specific sequences of heparan sulfate (HS) oligosaccharides that can act as potent antagonists against SARS-CoV-2, offering potential for developing inhibitors of early viral entry steps. Competitive and virtual screening studies revealed the importance of certain HS structures for selective recognition of the virus receptor-binding domain, suggesting a novel pharmacophore for engineered selectivity. This work highlights the key structural motif in HS that could lead to effective and selective agents against SARS-CoV-2.
